Recently we've seen a lot of news articles about the potential for chat apps to take over the role of SMS. Analysts Informa recently came out with the research that suggested that 2012 was the tipping point, with nearly 19 billion messages sent over chat apps daily globally, versus 17.6 billion SMS messages. In 2014 some 21 billion SMS messages are predicated as against 50 billion app-based messages. Now, while the the user numbers of chat apps are significantly lower right now when set against chat apps (3.5 billion SMS users in 2012, against 586.3 million users of WhatsApp, BlackBerry Messenger, Viber, Nimbuzz, Apple?s iMessage and KakaoTalk), those ratios are changing. Given that SMS is 20 years old and chat apps have been going for only 5 years, the trend is concentrating the minds of mobile operators.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/_kmmc-RXau8/
